Poor Prince Harry

WI during his Afghan tour, Harry is killed or captured?

Enigmajones beat me to it. Big gaudy funeral, much weeping and gnashing of teeth, perhaps even a short-term increase in Britain's commitment to the war effort. Little impact on the course of history would be observed.

Except for the fact that people will be pressuring William and Kate to have a baby. After all, with Harry gone, there is no longer a "spare" just in case something bad happens to William.

I'm not sure what effect that has on world history, though. It's not as if the British Royal Family actually rules the country any more.
